1. A data management system comprising:

  • a server;

    a plurality of input sources connected to said server via at least one communication link, for allowing users to input data into said server, said server processing said input data;

    a plurality of destination sources connected to said server via said at least one communication link, for allowing users to selectively access said processed data;

    said server including;

    (a) an autonomous, expert executive subsystem responsible for the tasks comprising;

    controlling other subsystems, starting and shutting down processes at scheduled times, monitoring system components for error and warning conditions, notifying system support personnel of detected system errors, and recovering from system failures;

    (b) an information subsystem, capable of data fusion, responsible for the tasks comprising;

    integrating other subsystems, communicating traffic raw input data to a prediction subsystem, providing inter-process management and control, processing input and output data to and from said integrated subsystems, processing data fed back from said prediction subsystem, and providing system housekeeping;

    (c) an input data management subsystem for providing input data to said information subsystem;

    (d) said prediction subsystem for integrating said traffic raw input data from said information subsystem, real-time monitoring of the actual airport or other facility performance, predicting the occurrence of selected events based on said traffic raw input data and actual said airport or other facility performance, and iteratively feeding said prediction data back to said information subsystem; and

    (e) a client interface subsystem for providing user interface interactions to the system.
